Heroes Return

"By the way, speaking of training, something just came to mind." Lin Jie said, then looked at Qi Ge: "Were those shadow monsters summoned by your dad?"

“Not entirely, some are under his control,” Chig said. “These are actually a collection of negative human emotions, and most of them were attracted by the power in my arm.”

"So how often do they usually appear?" Lin Jie asked.

“It happens about once every few days,” Chig replied. “Teacher, why are you suddenly asking these questions?”

"Of course, I have my reasons," Lin Jie said, looking at everyone present. "I'm going to tell you something. Actually, Qige is attacked by unknown monsters every few days. However, the monsters that attack him are not very strong, so I've decided that whenever a monster attacks Qige, you all should go and help him."

"No way! Why the hell should I fight for this kid?" Obsession was the first to stand up and say.

"This is training. Those shadow monsters will become your real combat targets in the future," Lin Jie said to them. "Isn't this a perfect way to put waste to good use? Of course, no one is allowed to object!"

"Teacher... what if we encounter that monster again?" Justin asked, still a little shaken.

“Why don’t you just go up and kill him? You killed one last night, didn’t you?” Lin Jie said to Justin. “Of course, if you encounter that kind of monster again, I won’t help you. After all, you should be able to kill that gay guy yourself.”

"Alright, I will now arrange individual training sessions for each of you," Lin Jie said to everyone present.

……

And so, S-Class's intensive training began under Lin Jie's pressure.

On the beach, twelve students in swimsuits stood facing Lin Jie: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, remember my standards for a hero. Simply put, it's one sentence: Don't be a coward, just do it!"

“Teacher, that’s a really brainless statement!” Tifa stepped forward and said.

"Tch, cowardly coward who doesn't dare to confront head-on. Remember this: If you have the opportunity, do it! If you don't, create the opportunity and do it!" Lin Jie said to the crowd present, "If you run away, who will save those who are threatened?"

"Teacher is right! A true samurai should not fear any challenge!" Miyamoto Spicy Strips said to Lin Jie, "As a samurai family, I will make spicy strips like those in Zone C one day!"

"Alright, the first thing I'm going to teach you is a breathing method."

"Teacher, are you talking about breathing techniques?" While the other students seemed quite confused, Ye Daoshen stepped forward: "Teacher, are you really going to teach us breathing techniques? I remember that breathing techniques are something that no family should pass on to outsiders!!"

“Those boring rules are useless to me. My sister is the one who calls the shots in my family!” Lin Jie replied. “However, my sister doesn’t practice martial arts, so she doesn’t care about these things at all. But I want you to remember that the breathing technique I’m teaching you has its limits. If you use it for a long time, you will be harmed, except for those with strong obsessions.”

"Teacher, are you talking about using special breathing techniques to enhance the body's abilities?" Harry couldn't help but ask, "Can you really enhance yourself just by the frequency of your breathing? That's not magic at all!"

“Actually, there are methods to change the body’s physical performance by changing breathing patterns, but the known breathing methods don’t seem to be very useful for us right now,” Tifa said, tilting her head.

"You two know nothing!" Ye Daoshen turned around and said to the two men, "You are not martial artists, so you don't understand the importance of breathing techniques at all."

"Daoshin-kun is right!" Miyamoto Spicy Strips chimed in at this moment, "Many martial arts breathing techniques can instantly enhance one's physical abilities several times over. Teacher Lin Jie, are you really planning to teach us such an important technique?"

"Yes, what I plan to teach you is a breathing technique that can enhance your physical abilities several times over in a short period of time!" Lin Jie said to everyone, "From now on, remember this breathing frequency..."

Although the breathing technique taught by Lin Jie was very complicated, the students in Class S mastered it very quickly.

At the same time, everyone felt the effects of the breathing technique that Lin Jie had mastered, and many people began to run and jump excitedly on the beach.

Tifa, who did a somersault on the spot, was very surprised to feel the changes in her body: "I didn't expect that just changing the frequency of my breathing could cause such changes in my body! I must have a full body check-up when I have time."

"This feels so damn good!! I finally have a chance to kill you, you bastard!" Zhi Nian felt the improvement in his physical abilities and excitedly rushed towards Lin Jie.

In the blink of an eye, he was beside Lin Jie, his chainsaw swinging towards him: "I can finally avenge the humiliation you've caused me these past few days!!!"

Then the obsession was blasted away by a stick and sent flying into the distant sea.

"Alright! You all stop using this breathing technique immediately!" Lin Jie said to the group. "Using this breathing technique for too long will damage your dantian! So try not to use it for too long. In severe cases, it may cause impotence."

"Teacher, is it really okay to teach these students such an advanced breathing technique?" Ye Daoshen couldn't help but ask.

"Wasn't the reason why many martial arts techniques disappeared back then because there were no successors?" Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen, "And this is the best way to improve their abilities."

Lin Jie then looked at everyone and said, "Alright, stop playing these pointless games. I'll assign you training tasks next."

Lin Jie's first look was at Harry: "Harry, your task is to fix it within three weeks."

As Lin Jie spoke, he took out his broken, massive spiked club: "I'm giving you the broken part too. If you can repair this spiked club within these three weeks, I guarantee your mental strength will increase by one level."

"You mean you just want to fix this spiked club?" Harry said, connecting the two ends of the club together. "I can fix something like this with just a combination spell!"

As he spoke, Harry drew a simple magic circle on the ground. Just as the magic circle lit up, a hideous ghost head suddenly sprang out of the spiked club and bit at Harry's neck as it sprang out.

Just as the ghost head was about to bite Harry's neck, Lin Jie suddenly appeared beside Harry, grabbed the ghost head in his hand, and kicked it away like a soccer ball.

The ghost head let out a howl in the air and then disappeared.

Looking again at the spiked club that Harry had tried to repair with his magic, it was unsurprisingly not fixed.

"This spiked club is called the Demon's Fang Club," Lin Jie said to Harry, who was sitting on the ground sweating profusely. "Back then, the owner of this club used it to subdue countless demons! So ghosts and monsters often emerge from it. Originally, these ghosts and monsters could be controlled, but unfortunately, the club broke, so they can't be controlled anymore. Before, they were all inside me, so they didn't dare to come out and cause trouble. But since you intend to repair the club, these demons will definitely come out and cause trouble!"

"Teacher! You...your weapon is actually a magical artifact!" Harry exclaimed in shock as he looked at Lin Jie.

"A magical artifact? What the hell? You can interpret it however you like," Lin Jie said to Harry. "But let me warn you, you might lose your life if you're not careful. Of course, I can't always save you."

"Teacher... can I change my training assignment?" Harry swallowed hard.

"What do you think?" Lin Jie ignored Harry and turned to the other students: "Don't worry, your training won't be much safer than his."

Just as Lin Jie was speaking, Zhi Nian swam back to the beach, but the next moment Lin Jie pushed him back into the sea: "Go back and swim again! That's your task for today!"

"You're next." Releasing his obsession back into the sea, Lin Jie turned to look at the remaining students on the beach.

Amidst the anxious gazes of the crowd, Lin Jie looked at Felicia, who was crouching on the ground, covering her head and trying to minimize her presence.

"Felicea, this is your mission for the next period of time," Lin Jie said to Felicia.

"Teacher, can I not participate?" Felicia looked at Lin Jie pitifully. "I...I'm afraid of those people's gazes! So I'll just be a burden."

"Of course not." Lin Jie said to everyone present, "Even if we lose, you will all have to participate in the competition!"

"But teacher..."

"No buts," Lin Jie said firmly. "I'm in charge of this class! If you want to change my decision, become stronger and defeat me."

"Waaah..." Seeing Lin Jie's appearance, Felicia trembled like a frightened little rabbit.

"Putting on a pitiful act won't work!" Lin Jie said to Felicia, "Your task is to cook for all the students in Class S."

"Huh? My training is cooking?" Felicia asked.

“Of course, it’s cooking!” Lin Jie said to Felicia. “But you can’t cook with your hands, you have to use your superpowers! Also, each meal must have five dishes, and at least one of them must be shredded.”

"Huh?? Teacher, this task is so difficult!" Felicia couldn't help but say after hearing Lin Jie's instructions.

"Go quickly, I'll prepare the ingredients and recipes for you in a bit," Lin Jie said to Felicia.

"Felicia made this herself?" Tifa asked excitedly. "Don't worry, Felicia, I will definitely finish every last bit of your loving wife bento."

"Huh?? Why is it a wife's bento?" Felicia asked, puzzled.

Then Tifa hugged Felicia tightly, rubbing her face against hers repeatedly: "Because our Felicia is so cute! So I'm going to marry you!"

"Huh???"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After deciding on Felicia's training assignment, Lin Jie once again turned his gaze to the three grunts not far away: "You three, just keep doing the construction for me."

"Huh? What are we going to build?" The three henchmen all looked at Lin Jie in unison.

"See that mountain?" Lin Jie pointed to a volcano in the distance. "You three's task today is to build a hot spring there."

"Huh? You mean we should dig a hot spring somewhere?"

“That’s right! And it has to be finished tonight!” Lin Jie said to the three of them, “Not only do you need a hot spring, but the three of you also need to build a wooden hut outside for changing clothes. Oh, and don’t forget to surround it with a wooden wall, the kind that’s completely airtight.”

"Huh?" The three henchmen were taken aback by Lin Jie's series of demands: "Teacher! There's no way we can complete a hot spring in one day!!"

"I'm not going to worry about that," Lin Jie said to the three henchmen. "Anyway, if you three don't finish today, you'll be punished."

"Huh?" The three of them exclaimed at the same time, and then ran towards the volcano.

"By the way! Any of you three will die if you use any tools!" Lin Jie shouted at the three men.

Then he felt the three people pause for a moment, and then he sped up his running.

"Next up is you, Miyamoto Spicy Strips." Lin Jie turned around and looked at Miyamoto Spicy Strips: "You, Ye Daoshen, and Qige go and fight each other."

"Mutual fighting? What do you mean?" Ye Daoshen asked.

"It's a two-on-one brawl, with the two of you switching every forty minutes. Starting in the last forty minutes before dinner tonight, the three of you will become one-on-one brawlers, and only the last person standing will be able to finish their meal. The other two will have to figure out their own dinner."

"I understand, I will definitely do my best!" Miyamoto Spicy Strips said, picking up his twin swords and looking at the other two: "Since this is the training method, then I will absolutely not back down!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Think about it, we don't need to fight at all! Can't we just wait until dinner time to settle things?" Ye Daoshen said, looking at Miyamoto Spicy Strips.

"Hmph! I understand." Qige walked over at this moment: "Each of us has a chance to fight two, which means that only the one among us who suffers the least loss and is the least injured in a one-on-two situation can stand to the end. And in order to make sure that our enemy is injured more severely than ourselves, the two of us who team up must also go all out."

"Wait a minute, what kind of twisted logic is this?" Ye Daoshen shouted at Qige, "And you two, you don't actually want to fight seriously, do you?"

"Hmph! It's time to show you the power of this eye of mine!" Qige sneered as he looked at the other two.

"For the sake of my spicy snack path, I will not shirk any challenge that belongs to me!" Miyamoto Spicy Snacks said at this moment.

"It's definitely better to go to the regular college I used to attend!" Ye Daoshen sighed, then followed the two men into the mountains. "In that case, let's draw lots to decide the order."

After seeing the three people off, Lin Jie's gaze once again fell on Tifa.

"Um... teacher, I'm just a researcher of machines. Can you not be so Spartan?" Tifa looked at Lin Jie nervously.

"Don't worry, I have other plans for you." Lin Jie said to Tifa, "In the coming period, I hope you can create a suitable technological weapon for each student in Class S."

“This isn’t too difficult…” Tifa said.

"I'm talking about equipment that's suitable for their use," Lin Jie said. "That is, the most suitable technological equipment for them to use, and its performance must completely outperform the academy's research equipment."

"Teacher! This is really too difficult!" The girl frowned and said to Lin Jie, "The academy's research institutions are places with extremely high technology, right?"

"Their technology may be more advanced than yours, but the performance of what they produce may not be as practical," Lin Jie said to the girl. "And if our equipment outperforms the academy's equipment, guess what kind of expressions those researchers from the academy will have?"

"It sounds interesting, teacher!" Tifa said excitedly after hearing Lin Jie's words. "I understand, teacher, but could you please take me to the laboratory I applied for at the academy?"

“Let’s go, but you don’t need to make it in the lab,” Lin Jie said to the girl.

"Not made in the lab?" Tifa looked at Lin Jie, puzzled.

“Since you want to know what equipment is best for them, you naturally need to be able to observe your classmates up close at any time,” Lin Jie said to Tifa. “So I will bring everything you need here.”

"Huh? You moved here?" Tifa looked at Lin Jie with some surprise.

“That’s right, we’re moving here.” With that, Lin Jie tucked Tifa around his waist, and the two of them disappeared from the spot. When they returned, Lin Jie was carrying a metal shipping container that was many times larger than himself.

"Alright, it's your turn next." Lin Jie said, looking at Akarin.
